Proxy and patient reports of health-related quality of life in a national cancer survey.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the difference between patient and proxy reports of patient HRQOL in a large national cancer survey, and determine if this difference could be mitigated by adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic information about patients. It concluded that the proxy-reported outcome scores for both physical and mental health were clinically and significantly lower than patient-reported scores for these outcomes.
